Lunch and Learn: Supreme Court's Decision on LAWA and What it Means for Arizona Businesses

This month, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America et al v. Whiting et al, ruling that the Legal Arizona Workers Act, LAWA, is not preempted by federal law. Under LAWA, Arizona employers that knowingly or intentionally employ unauthorized aliens are subject to suspension or revocation of their business licenses. LAWA also requires all Arizona employers to enroll in the federal E-Verify program.

Nancy-Jo Merritt, chair of the Fennemore Craig Immigration Group, and Matt Martinez, Fennemore Craig partner in the Immigration Group, will discuss what this means to Arizona employers, and what U.S. businesses can learn from Arizona’s experience three years after LAWA. Nancy-Jo and Matt will discuss “best practices” with respect to LAWA, and the new enforcement matrix used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE].
